Pros

Good benefits including heavily discounted cable service, dental, vision, and life insurance. Impressive hourly pay for not requiring a college degree. Many opportunities for overtime.

Cons

Many departments are under-staffed and in a hiring freeze due to a merger with Time Warner Cable. The company used to bring on temps to help during the busy times of the year, but this is no longer the case. They bank on current employees being willing to log tons of overtime to make up for a lack of proper staffing, which leaves many exhausted and over-worked. This stirs up negativity between those that put forth an honest effort and those that slack off, which causes a toxic environment.

Pros

I have been with Spectrum for 7 years now. If you have a good work ethic, Spectrum hands down is the place to work. I've had 2 kids since starting with them, their benefits are amazing, good pay, and I cannot say enough of how fortunate I have been since starting with them.

Cons

They are a corporation. If you understand that, then there aren't any major cons
